Lattice Boltzmann method for Oldroyd-B fluids

Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Viscoelasticity on Drop Retraction and the Evaluation of Interfacial Tension between Polymer Melts

“…On the contrary, the kinetic theory of polymer chains is rewritten in the lattice scheme. So the LB method-based computational framework consists of three ingredients: the pseudopotential multiphase model [72] for drop morphology evolution, the FENE dumbbell model for the polymer viscoelasticity [70,71], and an appropriate coupling strategy. e outline of the threedimensional numerical method is briefed in this section, while the details are presented in Appendix.…”

“…For the microscopic nature of both, Onishi et al for the first time integrated the LB method and kinetic theory and succeeded in modeling the polymeric fluids [69,70]. Osmanlic and Körner applied the LB-kinetic theory framework to the simulation of Oldroyd-B fluids [71]. is paper combines the LB method and polymer kinetic theory to simulate the retraction of the deformed drop and analyze the effect of viscoelasticity.…”

Numerical modeling of industrial bioreactor performance using the Lattice Boltzmann method

“…Microorganisms enter the reactor as massless Lagrangian tracer particles and react to their local environment based on a biological model. The distribution of substrate is modeled by a parallelizable transport equation [1]. An efficient method for the simulation of thermal energy within the LBM framework is developed.…”
